Flashback series build-a-set Piper’s Pit with an ‘85 Piper and/or Snake Pit with a rerelease of the All Stars Jake. Also would love to see a G.I. Joe/LJN mailaway Slaughter, as well as another Iron Sheik. Love these ideas, especially the Build-a-sets. Trying to think who would be a part of each set. Piper's Pit: Piper (panther or red shirt), Snuka with a coconut, maybe an elite Orton with his vest, an elite Orndorff. Snake Pit: Jake (don't really like street attires but would make sense for this set, would prefer WM3 attire), Honky Tonk Man (with Blue/Green jumpsuit or White jumpsuit), Hogan (all white American Made attire), Ricky Steamboat (black or purple attire). Can we please for the love of God just finally get Superstar Billy Graham? I don’t even know if he’s under contract anymore or if it lapsed while Mattel drug their feet. Dude, the interview with Bill at sdcc he said superstar IS under contract and he said something to the extent of..we are now gonna try to find a spot for him. It is egregious that Graham has been passed by to this point. Such disrespect. That's great that Bill said they are trying to find a spot for him, definitely long over due. Hopefully its the 1970s WWWF Champion and not the late 80s manager/announcer. Ljn era Snake Roberts with younger sculpt &mullet and tights based off of mania2 or ljn fig. I'd buy it but would prefer the WM3 attire. Paul Bearer's Funeral Parlour, Casket, Bearer, Warrior, Taker, Jake the Snake, ohhh yeeesssss! Just like the Piper's Pit and Snake Pit ideas above, love it. I'd be happy with your choices but also wouldn't mind if it came with Macho, Piper, Flair, Hogan, Taker, or Bearer (any 4 of the 6) from their encounter in late 1991. Definitely would want the Piper and Savage from that moment, great attires.

+1 to all the classic WWF wants suggested, adding only Capn Lou, Freddie Blassie and the fate of Wendi Richter (come onnnnn Flashbacks 4 or 5!) Too bad Moolah is a lightning rod right now, I'd love to have everyone from the Rock n' Wrestling cartoon. A new Nikolai with a new headscan would be great, they could give him his sweatshirt.
I'd like to add some NWA flashbacks too:
NWA champ Harley Race Nikita Koloff Rock and Roll Express Midnight Express and Cornette (Bobby Eaton is the last holdout from the Dangerous Alliance) Sucks we'll probably never see Muta, but I'd love Kabuki and Gary Hart

Ljn era Snake Roberts with younger sculpt &mullet and tights based off of mania2 or ljn fig. Absolutely! we need a young heel Jake. I’m happy for the most part with the jakes released so far but to me Jake the snake Roberts best run was as a heel during 1986. Those tights he worse during that run are his best also, the LJN look or WM2 look incredible in figure form. Also I’m loving the pipers pit ideas some have mentioned.

MKSavage I thought about Snuka with a coconut, but I doubt Mattel would make him and I’m not sure I could let myself buy him. But an Orton in street clothes would be fun, I think. Light denim, cowboy boots and a Hot Rod T-shirt.

MKSavage it was Stunning Steve holding the current WWE US Title since Mattel has a thing for giving guys belts they never held. Or titles they held but not the correct design.

I'd like to see a rick rude. Hopefully in this attire. Even though Jakks made this figure, I'd like to see a Mattel version. It'd make a good Retrofest release.

Light denim, cowboy boots and a Hot Rod T-shirt. Yeah, I don't think Mattel is going to be making a Snuka anytime soon, there would have to be a huge amount of people requesting one for them to do so. I just added his name because he probably had the most iconic moment on Piper's Pit. Not really a fan of street clothes, they always look weird to me. I'd like to see a rick rude. Hopefully in this attire. Even though Jakks made this figure, I'd like to see a Mattel version. It'd make a good Retrofest release. Would definitely by a Rude in this attire. One of my favorites of his. If not this one, these would be nice to; WM 6 tights and his grim reaper tights.

with this: Mattel would do this: I like this so much because the belts don't line up and you can see the real one behind it. And the way Mattel slaps stickers over other things so often, it just works. Well done.

Dude, the interview with Bill at sdcc he said superstar IS under contract and he said something to the extent of..we are now gonna try to find a spot for him. It is egregious that Graham has been passed by to this point. Such disrespect. ...are you Corey Graves?? First time I ever used the word. You should have seen how I tried to spell it lol

It is egregious that Graham has been passed by to this point. Such disrespect. This pleases me greatly. At this point I won’t even be mad when he ends up with that awful Batista torso, lol. I will be upset though if he’s late 80’s version. Long blonde hair and tie dye are the way to go.

Hoping for more women. I really want IIconics! A battle pack would be great. I was so disappointed when the NXT Billie Kay was cancelled. Lana in wrestling gear would be awesome. Maria and Mike as a battle pack would be pretty cool. I'd really like an updated Tamina with a larger body. More flashback/HOF women! We're getting Trish soon which is a great start. But I'd love to see more Attitude era women like Jacqueline, Sable, Chyna(unlikely, I know but we can hope), Luna from her Attitude run, Ivory, Tori, Debra... any of those would be great but not sure on how sales would be...As for NXT, we're getting a flashback Ruby and a Nikki so I guess Kairi Sane would be good. Bianca would be awesome too, not quite sure how they'd deal with the hair situation though, haha. Looking forward to seeing lots of proto image we saw earlier in the year in figure form (Velveteen, Mandy(I know we saw the uncoloured figure), Nikki Cross, Liv. Elite Nia, Sherri, Killian etc.) All of this. But I want NXT Iconics AND main roster Iiconics

I'm really hoping we see more build a set themes in the Flashback line. The original placeholder lineups had Bearer and Piper, so I'd think the Funeral Parlor and Piper's Pit were at least under consideration. I'd love to get some WCW sts as well - maybe the iconic Nitro announce desk or the WCW Saturday Night interview backdrop. It seems like they missed a golden opportunity to a King of the Ring set with the wave 3.
